  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Could return this weekend

    Chisholm (oblique) said after his appearance in Thursday's game with Double-A Somerset that he expects to play only one or two more contests with the minor-league club, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    Chisholm looked great in the first game of his rehab stint, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs while starting at third base. He mentioned after the contest that Yankees manager Aaron Boone "really wanted me at 3B," so it appears that Chisholm will move to the hot corner upon rejoining the Yankees after making all 28 of his appearances this season at second base prior to getting hurt. If Chisholm is indeed activated from the IL after one or two more rehab games, he could be back in the Yankees' lineup for one or two contests during this weekend's series versus the Dodgers.

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Kicking off rehab stint

    Chisholm (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Chisholm has been out of action since late April due to a strained right oblique, but be began performing baseball activities in mid-May and is now ready to return to game action. Per Greg Joyce of the New York Post, Chisholm will play third base in Thursday's rehab appearance, though it hasn't yet been officially decided that Chisholm will handle that position when he returns to the big club. Chisholm worked exclusively at second base in all 28 games in which he played prior to getting hurt, but he logged 45 appearances at the hot corner in 2024, and his services may be in greater need at the latter position in New York with Oswaldo Cabrera (ankle) likely out for the remainder of the season.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Collects three hits

    Sosa went 3-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a double Wednesday against the Mets.

    Sosa appeared to be in jeopardy of losing playing time for a brief stretch in mid-May, but he's now started eight straight games -- seven of which have come at second base. Wednesday's performance was his fourth multi-hit performance in that span, and he's gone 11-for-31 with six RBI and three runs scored.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Starting rehab assignment Wednesday

    Gimenez (quadriceps) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez will play at second base for Dunedin over the next two days before being re-evaluated by the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since May 9 due to a right quadriceps strain. Prior to suffering the injury, Gimenez was slashing .195/.273/.305 with nine steals, three home runs and 10 RBI in 143 plate appearances.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Continues power surge

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Twins.

    Lowe opened the scoring in the fourth inning Wednesday, launching his 11th home run of the year. The 30-year-old has been as hot as any player in baseball of late -- he's recorded at least one hit in 11 straight games while batting .393 with six homers and a 1.219 OPS in his last 15 contests. Lowe is now slashing .249/.298/.446 through 208 plate appearances this season with 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Taking seat Wednesday

    Moore isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Moore will get a day to rest after going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored during Tuesday's contest. His absence will allow Miles Mastrobuoni to start bat second base and at eighth.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Battling left ankle soreness

    Massey was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds due to left ankle soreness.

    Massey was removed from Wednesday's lineup after being listed as the team's starting left fielder. However, pain in his left ankle will prevent him from starting the contest. John Rave will enter the lineup in right field while Dairon Blanco slides to left. The Royals are off Thursday before starting a three-game series against the Tigers on Friday.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Scratched Wednesday

    Massey was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Reds.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Playing game at 1B over weekend

    Manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Campbell will play first base during one game of Boston's three-game series in Atlanta that starts Friday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

    The Red Sox have been searching for an answer at first base since Triston Casas (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in early May, and the search became even more dire a week later when Romy Gonzalez (quadriceps) hit the injured list. Campbell began taking first-base reps during pregame warmups shortly after Gonzalez's injury, and he'll get his first crack at in-game action this weekend. The 23-year-old rookie is slashing .225/.312/.354 in 202 plate appearances this season.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Getting breather

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the A's.

    Dubon will get the afternoon off Wednesday after making six consecutive starts. In his place, Brendan Rodgers will fill in at second base and bat ninth.
